House M.D. 6x11

Remorse*

Season 6, Episode 11

& 13: You're taking it because she's hot?
    House: No, that would be an accident of genetics. It's because she's hot and her husband is ugly. It's a fascinating window into the mysteries of human psychology. Also, she's really hot.

& Foreman: Where are you?
    House: Undisclosed location.
    Foreman: Who are you hiding from?
    House: Wilson. And the lunch date that Wilson is, no doubt,
right now trying to sic on me. But in the great game of chess that is our
relationship, Wilson sees only one move ahead. I see dozens. That is why he
will never mate* me. That's a chess term.


& 13: Why do you want to meet her so badly?
    House: Psychopaths always fascinate me. I think it's their cultural literacy* and strong family values. Or is that Jews?


& Foreman: We're not gonna be able to get an honest read on her unless her husband is out of there.
    House: I got an idea. {2 patient's husband} Can you get out of here? Thanks. {2 Foreman) It was the "thanks" that did it.

& Foreman: Do something about thirteen. She flouted* both my authority and yours.
    House: Yes, and she got it right and you got it wrong.
    Foreman: Which aggravates the problem. She'll do it again. Next time it won't work out so well.
    House: You gotta punish her. You're her boss. In some vague, never to be usefully defined way. You punish her.
    Foreman: I'm also her ex, which makes it a little complicated.
    House: The fact that you also fired her takes it from complicated to moronic.
    Foreman: It was the only way...
    House: It wasn't because you loved her. It was because you loved your career. We're almost at my floor so I'll summarize. Your problem, not mine.


& House 2 patient: So when you watch Star Wars, which side do you root* for?


& House: Of course I'm self-interested. We all are. We're born that way. The rest of us are born with consciences*.
    Patient: Which is something you just sound ecstatic about.
    House: I'm not saying it's logical, it's human.
    Patient: So if you know your conscience is just an animal instinct, you don't need to follow it. I think you realize that. That's why you're talking to me.
